Agrobacterium is a unique model system as well as a major biotechnological tool for genetic manipulation of plant cells. It is still unknown, however, whether host cellular factors exist that are limiting for infection, and whether their overexpression in plant cells can increase the efficiency of the infection. Here, we examined the effect of overexpression in tobacco plants of an Arabidopsis gene, VIP1, which encodes a recently discovered cellular protein required for Agrobacterium infection. our results indicate that VIP1 is imported into the plant cell nucleus via the karyopherin alpha-dependent pathway and that elevated intracellular levels of VIP1 render the host plants significantly more susceptible to transient and stable genetic transformation by Agrobacterium, probably because of the increased nuclear import of the transferred-DNA.
